Question to all #software engineers (of all genders, of course):
#Microsoft offers a wide range of corporate tools, that (in parts) interact with each other, making it very comfortable for companies (of any size) to use them and thus getting "vendor locked-in".
E.g.:
Outlook connects to teams,
Edge (plans) to recommend (and connect) to teams and vice versa; logging in with MS SSO, over VPN, and so on, very strongly interconnect their different tools.
Would all that be possible - already today - using only #OpenSource tools?
With the same level of comfort and "interconnectedness" in comparably "high polished" user interfaces?
I ask, as someone some time ago stated that Microsoft would be "exceptionally good" in doing so for corporates.
